This trip was a wonderful adventure, filled with new surprises every day. We drove and hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, rafted on the Colorado River, and took flight in a helicopter, all with the guidance of two of the best Program Coordinators. I would go again, tomorrow!

This trip encompasses most of the Grand Canyon so is a great way to get the full view - from the East Rim, South Rim and West. The weather in mid-May was perfect, high 80s at the bottom of the canyon, jackets in Flagstaff; sad to say that the Sedona fires started the week after we finished.

Overall, I am glad that I went on this first Road Scholar trip because I was able to see places that I'd never been, and because all eight participants were really nice enjoyable people. There were some glitches due to National Parks closures that week, but our coordinator Amy Calhoun did an amazing job of arranging substitutions for the South Rim visit. Activity level was okay for me and I think it should be shown as more demanding than just "active" as some of our participants had difficulty. I would have liked more healthful food choices, but we all made the best of it.

We have told so many people what an amazing trip this turned out to be, that I thought that it was only fair that I should write a review! My husband and I really enjoyed every aspect of this trip! The leaders, Cowboy Karen, and Melissa, were wonderful, and we learned a lot from them while having a great time! We signed up for this trip because of the helicopter trip into the canyon, and it was as incredible as I imagined it to be! This was our first Road Scholar trip, but we are both hoping that we will be able to do many more of these trips! Great Job Road Scholar!!
